Brought my old satellite pole from WA to NM. I kind of bent it pulling it out of the ground so I buried the bent part (it was only a little bend) and the fin is on that end too. Had just enough mud left over from the radio tower pour to fill up the hole To be continued.....

I've got it measured out and adding extra for screw ups I figure I will need something less that 250' to get from in the house to the Ajak. (probably more like 225'). I suspect there are various gauge wires for voltage loss and distance. At least that's the way it used to be. Someone want to...

From the "trying to make Dish's HD satellite work" days, I still have a Dish DP44 and a Dish DP34 switch. Can they be used for anything other than Dish stuff? Like KU and/or C-Band? Can they even be used for more modern Dish equipment?

Ok here's what I want for my birthday...or Christmas...or both. I ran in to this guy in San Jose, Costa Rica in Dec 2008 and we started talking about his dish. He was getting US TV at the time on it. He was the owner of the little hotel we were staying at. What do you think this is, maybe 16' ...

Rust Removal By Electrolysis I ran across this technique while a member of a woodworking machinery collector's forum. It's an amazing way to remove rust without all the labor of sanding and scraping and it allows you to get in to nooks and crannies that are impossible to get to in any other...

I bought my first system in '85. It was a 12' black mesh antenna but was not a button hook. The name had something to do with the woods, like Evergreen or Forest or something. I thought it might have been a Conifer, but the only pictures of those I have seen have been button hooks. I guess it...

It takes a while sometimes for information to sink in so I thought I would ask this question now so the info can start it's way in. The ultimate plan would be to have my BUD with dual C-Band LNB set up (V&H) and four 1.2m Primestar dishes (each pointing at a selected bird). The BUD would have a...

We're moving and this stuff has been sitting in the back room for years. I don't want to haul it to New Mexico. If anyone needs anything they see they can have it for the price of shipping. No guarantees on if it works or not but the feed horns don't really have a choice. These are all take off...

I forgot I have this....... I salvaged a Radio Shack BUD a few years back and the dish was a loss because of the way you have to totally disassemble it to move it, but the mount was still good. I'm sure Radio Shack did not manufacture these, so I'm hoping it is something I can cross reference...

I don't have a Smart Phone but my wife does......:) A friend showed me an app on his smart phone that would identify constellations. You just held it up to the sky and panned it around and it would tell you what you were looking at. I was just wondering if anyone has written one for doing a...

I'm going to dump DirecTv this month and had planned to go with Roku, but then I remembered I had a complete 4DTV set up. 10' dish with 4DTV receiver and High-def unit. Controller LNBs etc etc. Does anyone still sell programming for this unit?

Is there a way to not have the ads on my Directv guide list? Example I am currently watching Fox News and have a custom guide set up. When I push "Guide" I have what is supposed to be 6 lines of program info on the EPG Instead I have an ad for Audience 360 FNCHD 362 TWCHD an ad for Showtime...

Is there anyway to export a program or movie that you have recorded? I have a HR-24 and thought it would be nice to copy a program that my friend doesn't get, so we could watch it at his house. Or is it encoded or something? I was thinking a thumb drive or something?

I seem to get a fair amount of little audio dropouts. They only last a fraction of a second. If they made noise it would be a click, so that's how short it is. I used optical Dolby output but switched it to regular cable see if that helped and it didn't Anybody else get them?

I guess mine never got taught what first run is. I set it to record only first run Glenn Becks and it records the one at 2pm and again at 11. Is there a code or something it is not reading? It's easy enough to delete the second one, just wondering

16x9 ED TV Running at 480P out of an HR24 using RGB cables. I'll use this as an example all though it happens on other channels. I flipped over to SyFy and there's Stargate SG1 but it's not filling up the screen. It's in 16x9 ratio, but it's got a black frame all around it. I have seen...

Do they get these people from a stupid farm? They know absolutely nothing about the business they are in. Here are my parameters Choice Xtra $7 DVR HR24 What satellites do I need to see from my location in 98364 ? Best answer I can get....... "They are in the south" What is the...

Since it's just the wife and I, I've always just had a single receiver for the front room and bedroom. On some receivers there is the high grade output like RGB (or HDMI nowadays) and they used to have just an F connector that put out a lower quality signal. To the F connector I would hook the...

I currently use a BUD, but the rumor mill says Motorola will discontinue service at the end of 2010. I have had Dish Network so I know about their hidden charges and fees. What types of fees and charges can I expect per month from DirecTV? Thanks

All day yesterday my Program guide was off by an hour. Everything else about it was accurate. Anyone else have that problem?

Any rumor of price increase at SRL? I was thinking of switching from NPS to SRL on 4/1 but if they plan to increase prices I'll do it today.

Big dishes for C-band are a knock out (to me) so I thought I would start a thread where we could put some pics to drool over. Central America seems to have first place when it comes to big c-band dishes. Here's a couple I ran across on the net Can you say "Dish Envy" ? :up

I went visiting my ma in "The Land of Enchantment" and watched her pizzapan setup and saw an ad for a new show coming on "FX". Does anyone offer that a la cart on 4DTV or C-band in general?

I went and looked at a Radio Shack dish today. It has an H2H mount on it. It must be pretty old as the owner said it has an LNA on it rather than an LNB Anyone know what mount they used? It looks like a miniature Ajak 180 Anyone know?

What do I need to do to get the NASA channels off AMC 7 C? I have the C-band dish with a 922 operating. Can I use any of this or does it require different equipment?
